BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

This invention relates, generally, to relaxation devices. Moreparticularly, it relates to a cabinet where various lights and soundsprovide therapeutic benefits to a person reclining in a relaxationchamber.

2. Description of the Prior Art

Cabinets that include relaxation chambers that use lights and sounds tobenefit the health or feelings of well-being to a person lying withinsuch a chamber are well known. The known devices provide a cabinethaving a relaxation chamber where a person reclines while listening tomusic and seeing various lights.

However, mixtures of sound and light that have no relation to oneanother do not provide optimal benefits. Thus there is a need for arelaxation chamber where the sounds heard by the user are related to thelights seen by the user.

In view of the prior art when considered as a whole, it was not obviousto those of ordinary skill in the art at the time the present inventionwas made that such a need existed and therefore it could not have beenobvious how to fulfill such undetected need.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The long-standing but heretofore unfulfilled need for an improvedrelaxation chamber is now met by a new, useful, and non-obviousinvention.

The inventive structure is a cabinet that includes a relaxation chamber.The cabinet includes a base section, a middle section, and an uppersection. The base section is adapted to enclose a plurality of speakers.The middle section includes the relaxation chamber and is adapted toenclose a reclining human user of the relaxation chamber when said humanuser is in a reclining position. The middle section has a foot end, amiddle section, and a head end corresponding to the feet, torso and headof the reclining user. The upper section houses a plurality of lightfixtures.

The light fixtures of the upper section include light bulbs that emitlight at preselected frequencies. The speakers of the base section emitsound in harmonic relation to the preselected light frequencies.

A stationary foot light fixture includes a light bulb disposed in theupper section in illuminating relation to the middle section of thecabinet at the foot end of the cabinet. A stationary head light fixturealso includes a light bulb disposed in the upper section in illuminatingrelation to the middle section of the cabinet at the head end of thecabinet.

A movably mounted middle light fixture includes a light bulb disposed inthe upper section of the cabinet in illuminating relation to the middlesection of the cabinet.

All of the light fixtures have a hexagonal housing formed from sixpanels of quadrilateral shape, each of which is wider at its bottom thanits top and each of which is mirrored on an interior surface thereof.

A movable housing houses the movable middle light fixture. The movablehousing includes a top horizontal panel and a bottom horizontal panelthat are connected to one another along their respective front and backedges by a front vertical panel and a back vertical panel. The movablemiddle light fixture is mounted to the movable housing for conjointmovement therewith.

A plurality of horizontal rings is mounted within the hexagonal copperframe of the movable middle light fixture in equidistantly andvertically spaced relation to one another. An uppermost ring has adiameter less than a middle ring and the middle ring has a diameter lessthan a lower ring.

An upper crystal holder has opposite ends secured to the upper ring andthe upper crystal holder is coincident with a diameter of the upperring. A middle crystal holder has opposite ends secured to the middlering and the middle crystal holder is coincident with a diameter of themiddle ring. A lower crystal holder has opposite ends secured to thelower ring and is coincident with a diameter of the lower ring.

A first aperture is formed mid-length of the upper crystal holder and afirst crystal is secured within the first aperture. A second aperture isformed mid-length of the middle crystal holder and a second crystal issecured within the second aperture. A third aperture is formedmid-length of the lower crystal holder and a third crystal is securedwithin said third aperture.

Three light bulbs in linear array are disposed above the movable middlelight fixture. The center bulb is centered with respect to a centralaperture formed in a hexagonal plate that closes the top of the movablemiddle light fixture. The array of light bulbs is mounted to the movablehousing so that the array moves conjointly with the movable middle lightfixture when the movable housing and hence the middle light fixture arereciprocated along a longitudinal axis of the cabinet. The middle lightbulb of the three bulb array remains in axial alignment with thevertical axis of symmetry of the movable middle light fixture when themovable middle light fixture reciprocates conjointly with the movablehousing.

A color disc has a plurality of apertures formed therein near itsperiphery. A translucent colored disc is mounted within each aperture ofthe plurality of apertures and each translucent colored disc has a colorunique to it. A drive disc is disposed in abutting relation to aperipheral edge of the color disc so that rotation of the drive disceffects rotation of the color disc about a shaft. Rotation of the colordisc causes the translucent colored discs to sequentially follow a pathof travel under the light bulb array. However, the color disc does notrotate after a color has been selected for a particular user of theapparatus.

An LED switch disc includes a rotatably-mounted disc-shaped central partand a stationary toroidal part that surrounds the central part incoplanar relation therewith. The LED switch disc is positioned withinthe movable housing in vertically spaced relation above the color discand is concentric therewith. A plurality of LED switches, each of whichincludes a switch actuator, is mounted about the periphery of thetoroidal part. A recess is formed in a peripheral edge of the rotatablecentral part of the LED switch disc and a protuberance is mounted in therecess for conjoint rotation with the rotatable central part. Eachswitch actuator is actuated when the protuberance abuttinglysequentially engages it as the central part of the LED switch discrotates about a vertical shaft, there being one momentary activation ofeach LED switch for each revolution of the central part.

The LED switch disc is mounted in underlying relation to the tophorizontal panel of the movable housing in vertically spaced relation tothe color disc. The color disc is mounted above the movable middle lightfixture in offset relation thereto so that as the color disc is rotatedfrom one position to another, the translucent colored discs aresequentially brought into centered relation to a central aperture formedin a hexagonal top panel of the movable middle light fixture to align amiddle light bulb of the light bulb array with the central aperture. Themiddle light bulb has a longitudinal axis of symmetry coincident with alongitudinal axis of symmetry of the movable middle light fixture. Thecolor disc is rotated to align a preselected translucent colored discwith said middle light bulb prior to a client treatment but the colordisc does not rotate during treatment as mentioned above.

A primary object of the invention is to advance the art of relaxationchamber cabinets by providing a relaxation chamber where a user seeslights and hears sounds that are harmoniously related to one another toenhance the benefits received by the user.

Another important object is to provide a moving light that is selectedfrom a collection of multiple light colors according to the needs ofindividual users. The selected light reciprocates along the length ofthe relaxation chamber to provide benefits at any point or where neededalong the entire length of the body of the user.

These and other important objects, advantages, and features of theinvention will become clear as this description proceeds.

The invention accordingly comprises the features of construction,combination of elements, and arrangement of parts that will beexemplified in the description set forth hereinafter and the scope ofthe invention will be indicated in the claims.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

Referring now to FIG. 1, it will there be seen that the novel apparatusis denoted as a whole by the reference numeral 10.

Cabinet 10 has a rectangular bottom wall 12 and a caster wheel 14 ismounted to said bottom wall in each of its four corners as depicted sothat cabinet 10 can be moved easily from place to place.

First upstanding end wall 16, also of rectangular construction, has acircular aperture formed therein. Fan 18 includes base 20 and rotatableblades 22 protected by a cage; the cage is in registration with thecircular aperture.

More particularly, cabinet 10 includes a base section 10 a, a middlesection 10 b, and an upper section 10 c. Fan 18 is in open communicationwith base section 10 a.

Cabinet 10 further includes upstanding front wall 24 having arectangular configuration and a rectangular opening formed therein thatis closed by doors 26 and 28. Piano hinge 30 hingedly connects door 26to said front wall and piano hinge 32 hingedly connects door 28 to saidfront wall. Piano hinge 34 provides a hinge about mid-length of door 26and piano hinge 36 provides a hinge about mid-length of door 28.Accordingly, doors 26 and 28 are bi-fold doors. Door 26 includes handle26 a and door 28 includes handle 28 a. The bi-fold structure reduces theamount of clearance required to open said doors.

Middle section 10 b of cabinet 10 is opened when doors 26 and 28 areopen.

Top section 10 c surmounts middle section 10 b. Said top section housesa fixed position head light fixture, a movably mounted middle lightfixture, and a fixed position foot light fixture, all of which aredisclosed hereinafter. Top section 10 c includes rectangular front wall38, rectangular back wall 40, rectangular first end wall 42 andrectangular second end wall 44. Control panel 46 is mounted on frontwall 38. Horizontal panel 48 is the top panel of a movable housing thatreciprocates to some extent along the length of the cabinet as morefully disclosed hereinafter. The movable housing provides a mount forthe movable middle light fixture and parts related to said movablemiddle light fixture.

Second end wall 44 of upper section 10 c is depicted in FIG. 2. Itsurmounts rectangular end wall 45 of base 10 a and middle section 10 b.Said end wall 45 has a rectangular opening formed in it. Doors 50, 52close said opening and are hingedly mounted by piano hinges 54, 56,respectively. Handle 50 a is mounted on door 50 and handle 52 a ismounted on door 52. FIG. 2 also depicts a laptop computer 58 andelectrical connection 60 that provides power to the lights and speakersof the cabinet.

Rectangular bottom wall 12 is depicted in the bottom perspective view ofFIG. 3. Rectangular wall 62 is a back wall common to base section 10 aand middle section 10 b.

The bottom perspective view of FIG. 4 depicts novel apparatus 10 withdoors 26, 28 in an open configuration. The respective interior surfacesof said doors are covered with Estonian tone-wood slats 11 that areoriented at a forty-five degree (45°) angle relative to the surfacesthey cover. The same wood also covers the interior side of end walls 16and 45, back wall 62, and the bottom side of wall 68 that divides middlesection 10 b from top section 10 c.

Openings 64 and 66 formed in top wall 68 of middle section 10 b (saidwall also being bottom wall 68 of upper section 10 c as aforesaid)accommodate the fixed position foot light and the movable middle light,respectively. The opening that accommodates the fixed position headlight cannot be seen in this view. Openings 64 and 66 are hexagonal inconfiguration but opening 66 is elongated in a longitudinal direction asdepicted.

The top perspective view of FIG. 5A with doors 26, 28, 50, and 52 intheir respective open configurations enables rectangular bottom wall 70of middle section 10 b to be seen. A plurality of rectangular openingsis formed in said bottom wall as best understood in the explodedperspective view of FIG. 5B. Each rectangular opening is closed by abox-like enclosure 72, and each enclosure 72 has plural openings formedtherein to receive speakers. The respective main bodies of the speakersare mounted in said enclosures 72 and said enclosures extend into hollowbase 10 a of apparatus 10. The sound-emitting end of each speaker ismounted in registration with one of said plural openings. In thisparticular embodiment, each box 72 accommodates a sub-woofer 72 a, amid-range speaker 72 b, and a tweeter 72 c. The assembly is furtherdepicted in the top plan view of FIG. 5C.

Three (3) small Ambient® speakers, collectively denoted 71, arepositioned on the longitudinal axis of symmetry of bottom wall 70 inlongitudinally spaced relation to one another. They emit a constantdrone frequency independent of the main music source and amplification.The circuit for speakers 72 a, 72 b, and 72 c is separate from thecircuit for speakers 71 as indicated by their separate control boxes 58a and 58 b, respectively, depicted in FIG. 5C.

Control box 58 a includes an amplifier and means for adjusting andregulating the sound system. Control box 58 b is a frequency generatorthat generates frequencies that are related to the color filter in themain, central hex-light-crystal system 84. Mr. Dinshah Ghaliadi ofSpectro-Chrome, Inc. calculated the equivalent sound vibration for eachof twelve colors. For example, the basic frequency of the color red is436 trillion cycles per second. To arrive at a comparable or relatedfrequency in the audible range (reducing the frequency from visual toaudible), Dinshah divided the basic color frequency by two, 40 times.That results in an audible frequency of 392 cycles per second for soundrelated to the color red. The corresponding sound is in the range of theninth theoretical octave, i.e., 40 theoretical octaves below the colorvibration of the visible spectrum.

Speakers 71 play the matching audible sound for each color that isselected. This enhances the effect of the selected color.

Items 73, also positioned on the longitudinal axis of symmetry of bottomwall 70 in longitudinally spaced relation to one another, are depictedin enhanced detail in FIGS. 5D and 5E. Each item 73 is a cylindricalhousing having diametrically opposed apertures 73 a formed therein forreceiving opposite ends of axle 73 b. Crystal 73 d is rotatably mountedon each axle 73 b, said rotation being indicated in FIG. 5E by thearcuate directional arrows. A merkaba crystal is the preferred crystal.

Indian yogic literature speaks of special energy centers known as“chakras” (Sanskrit) meaning “wheels,” that are said to resemblewhirling vortices of subtle energy. Anatomically, each major chakra isassociated with a major nerve plexus and a major endocrine gland. Items73 are aligned in the area of each of the major chakras and each crystalis a color that represents the major chakras. The crown chakra isassociated with clear quartz, the third eye chakra is associated withamethyst, the throat chakra is associated with the color blue, the heartchakra is associated with the color green, the solar plexus chakra isassociated with the color yellow, the sacral chakra is associated withthe color orange, and the coccygeal chakra is associated with the colorred. Research by Dr. Hiroshi Motoyama of Japan has presentedexperimental findings that confirm the presence of the chakra system inhuman beings.

Pad 74 overlies the speakers as depicted in FIG. 6. Pad 74 protects thespeakers and provides a comfortable support for a user of cabinet 10 butis formed of a material that does not muffle the sound emitted by thespeakers.

FIG. 7 depicts a user lying atop said pad in a supine position.

Upper section 10 c is hingedly mounted to middle section 10 b. FIGS. 8and 9 depict telescoping arms 76 a, 76 b that allow upper section 10 cto overlie middle section 10 b when said arms are fully retracted andthat cause upper section 10 c to rotate about hinge 78 into an openposition as depicted in said FIGS. 8 and 9 when said arms are in theirrespective extended positions. The arms are preferably powered byhydraulic motor 80 (FIG. 9). Item 81 is a dimmer switch for dimming thefoot and head lights. Fixed position foot light fixture 82, movablemiddle light fixture 84, and fixed position head light fixture 86 aredepicted in FIG. 10. Foot light fixture 82 is so called because it ispositioned over the feet of a user. Movable middle light fixture 84 isso called because it is positioned over the middle part of the user'sbody, and head light fixture 86 is so called because it is positionedover the head of a user when novel apparatus 10 is in use. Item 87 is acamera that records the facial expressions of the client for futureanalysis.

Light fixture 82 includes light bulb 82 a and light fixture 86 includeslight bulb 86 a. Said light bulbs 82 a and 86 a are painted with thecolors of the rainbow as indicated by the horizontal lines drawnthereon. More particularly, light bulbs 82 a and 86 a are sold under thetrademark The Amazing Rainbow Light® lightbulbs, manufactured by SpecialFX Lighting, of Hurricane, Utah, on the Internet at fxlight.com/rainbow.No light bulbs are housed within movable middle light fixture 84.

Control panel 46 is depicted in detail in FIG. 11. Color selector button46 a performs the function its name expresses. Slide button 46 bcontrols movement of the middle light fixture and the buttonscollectively denoted 46 c and marked Tonation Lights controlillumination in any combination of an array of three light bulbsassociated with movable middle light fixture 84. Power switch 46 dperforms the function its name expresses. In this embodiment, twelve(12) colors are listed and panel lights collectively denoted 46 e areilluminated one at a time as the novel device operates in the mannerdisclosed below.

The foot light and the head light share a common structure. As depictedin the top and bottom perspective views of FIGS. 12 and 13,respectively, hexagonal housing 88 is formed from six (6) panels 89 ofquadrilateral shape, each of which is wider at its bottom than its topas depicted. Each hexagonal panel 89 is mirrored as at 90 on itsinterior surface. Hexagonal panel 92 (FIG. 13) closes the top of thelight structure and is centrally apertured as at 94. The base of lightbulb 96 extends through said aperture and engages internal threads 98 aformed in boss 98 of disc 100. Light bulb 96 is an Amazing Rainbow Lightidentified above. Each light fixture sits atop wall 68 in registrationwith hexagonal opening 64 formed in said wall, it being understood thateach light fixture is slightly larger than its associated hexagonalopening.

Quadrilateral panels 89 are mounted on hexagonal frame 91 that includessix (6) straight frame members 91 a that are equidistantly spaced fromone another and secured at their respective lower ends to horizontalhexagonal frame 91 b at each angle formed in said frame 91 b and attheir respective upper ends to horizontal hexagonal frame 91 c at eachangle formed in said frame 91 c. Lower frame 91 b is larger in breadththan upper frame 91 c. Horizontal ring 93 is mounted within said framenear the lower end thereof. Crystal holder 95 has opposite ends securedto ring 93 and said crystal holder is coincident with a diameter of saidring. Crystal 97 is mounted in the center of crystal holder 95 andcrystal holder 95 is made of spruce pine.

Movable middle light fixture 84 is best depicted in FIGS. 14A, 14B, and14C. Like the foot and head lights, it has a hexagonal structure formedby six quadrilateral panels 102 that are wider at their respectivelowers ends than at their respective upper ends. Also like the foot andhead lights, the inner surface of each panel is mirrored as ay 104. Asbest understood in connection with FIG. 14C, quadrilateral panels 102are mounted on hexagonal frame 106 that includes six (6) straight framemembers 106 a that are equidistantly spaced from one another and securedat their respective lower ends to horizontal hexagonal frame 106 b ateach angle formed in said frame 106 b and at their respective upper endsto horizontal hexagonal frame 106 c at each angle formed in said frame106 c. Lower frame 106 b is larger in breadth than upper frame 106 c.Three horizontal rings 108 a, 108 b, and 108 c are mounted within saidframe in equidistantly and vertically spaced relation to one another,with uppermost ring 108 a having a diameter less than middle ring 108 band said middle ring having a diameter less than lower ring 108 c. Uppercrystal holder 110 a has opposite ends secured to upper ring 108 a andsaid upper crystal holder is coincident with a diameter of said upperring. Middle crystal holder 110 b has opposite ends secured to middlering 108 b and said middle crystal holder is coincident with a diameterof said middle ring. Lower crystal holder 110 c has opposite endssecured to lower ring 108 c and said crystal holder is coincident with adiameter of said lower ring. All three crystal holders share a commonorientation when mounted in movable light fixture 84 as best depicted inFIG. 14A.

An aperture is formed mid-length of upper crystal holder 110 a andcrystal 112 a is secured within said aperture. An aperture is alsoformed mid-length of middle crystal holder 110 b and crystal 112 b issecured within said aperture. Similarly, an aperture is formedmid-length of lower crystal holder 110 c and crystal 112 c is securedwithin said aperture. Each crystal amplifies the effects of the colorsof the light that travels through it.

Like the foot and head light fixtures, movable middle light fixture 84has a hexagonal top wall 114 (FIG. 14A) that is centrally apertured asat 114 a as depicted in FIGS. 14A-C. In this embodiment, three (3) lightbulbs in linear array, collectively denoted 116, are mounted abovehexagonal top wall 114 with the center bulb being centered with respectto aperture 114 a. Color disc 118, disclosed in greater detail below, ispositioned between light bulbs 116 and central aperture 114 a. Lightbulbs 116 move conjointly with middle light fixture 84 when said fixture84 is reciprocated in a manner disclosed hereinafter. The middle lightbulb of said three bulb array 116 remains in axial alignment with thevertical axis of symmetry of middle light fixture 84 at all times. Eachlight bulb 116 is screwed into a conventional base. The bases for saidthree lights and the bracket in which said bases are mounted is denoted116 b in FIGS. 15A and 15B. The top wall of bracket 116 b is secured tohorizontal panel 48 that extends between front wall 38 and back wall 40of upper section 10 c of cabinet 10.

FIGS. 15A and 15B depict color disc 118 in more detail. It has aplurality of apertures, collectively denoted 120, formed therein so thatsaid apertures are near the periphery of said disc 118. A coloredtranslucent disc 120 a is mounted within each aperture 120 as suggestedin the exploded view of FIG. 15A and as depicted in FIG. 15B.

Color disc 118 is also centrally apertured and shaft 122 extends throughsaid central aperture. Shaft 122 is held in place by a first nut 122 athat overlies color disc 118 and a second nut 122 b that that underliessaid disc. Color disc 118 is rotated about shaft 122 by drive disc 124that abuttingly engages color disc 118 at its periphery. Drive disc 124is secured to the output shaft of motor 126 and rotates conjointlytherewith. Motor 126 is mounted to a first leaf of hinge 126 a and asecond leaf of said hinge is secured to vertical front panel 39 of thereciprocating housing for movable middle light fixture 84.

As motor 126 operates, drive disc 124 causes rotation of color disc 118.Colored translucent discs 120 a therefore pass under light bulb array116 in sequence when said motor is operating. However, as mentionedabove, after a particular colored translucent disc has been selected forits relationship to the sound to be emitted by the speakers, color disc118 does not rotate.

LED switch disc 128 is centrally apertured and said central aperturereceives shaft 122 as indicated in FIGS. 15A and 15B. LED switch disc128 is positioned in vertically spaced relation above color disc 118 andis concentric therewith. The diameter of LED switch disc 128 is lessthan that of color disc 118. An imaginary circle drawn on color disc 118to interconnect the radially innermost point of each aperture 120 wouldhave a diameter slightly larger than a diameter of said LED switch disc.LED switch disc 128 is secured to the underside of horizontal panel 48by an assembly that includes disc 130 which is disposed below saidhorizontal panel 48, disc 132 which is disposed above said panel 48 anddisc 134 which overlies disc 132. Nut 134 a engages the uppermost end ofshaft 122 to hold said shaft in its upright configuration.

As best depicted in FIG. 16, LED switch disc 128 includes inner disc 136that rotates conjointly with shaft 122 and outer toroidal plate 138 thatis stationary. A plurality of LED switches 140 is mounted about theperiphery of toroidal plate 138.

Protrusion 142 is mounted in a recess formed in disc 136 and rotatesconjointly with said disc. Each LED switch 140 has a spring-loadedswitch actuator 140 a that is actuated when protrusion 142 abuttinglyengages it as depicted at the 9:00 o'clock position of FIG. 16. LEDswitches 140 are thus sequentially activated, one at a time, as disc 136rotates about shaft 122, there being one momentary activation of eachLED 140 switch and corresponding LEDs 46 e on control panel 46 for eachrevolution of disc 136. Each LED on control panel 46 emits a uniquecolor of light relative to the other LEDs.

FIGS. 17, 18A and 18B depict the mechanism that enables middle lightfixture 84 to reciprocate along a longitudinal axis of cabinet 10.Middle light fixture 84 is secured at its widest end to movably mountedflat panel 144 having a hexagonal opening formed centrally thereof. Afirst transversely disposed rigid strip 146 is hingedly connected byfirst hinge 148 to a first transversely disposed edge of flat panel 144and a second transversely disposed rigid strip, also denoted 146, ishingedly connected by a second hinge, also denoted 148, to a secondtransversely disposed edge of said flat panel 144 as depicted in FIG.17. Additional rigid strips 146 of the same structure are connected toone another in the same way by similar hinges to form first and secondflexible panels, collectively denoted 150.

FIGS. 18A and 18B also depict Estonian tone-wood slats 11 oriented at aforty five degree (45°) angle relative to the respective surfaces thatthey cover. Slats 11 direct sound in a circular fashion as indicated bythe arrows included in said Figs.

The respective opposite ends of the first and second panels aresupported by ramps, collectively denoted 152. Accordingly, when middlelight fixture 84 moves from the foot end of cabinet 10 to the head endthereof, the flexible panel on the foot end of cabinet 10 slides downits ramp and the flexible panel on the head end of said cabinet slidesup its ramp. When middle light fixture 84 moves from the head end ofcabinet 10 to the foot end thereof, the flexible panel on the head endof cabinet 10 slides down its ramp and the flexible panel on the footend of said cabinet slides up its ramp.

Each flexible wing is formed by hingedly connecting contiguous panels ofa plurality of rigid panels to one another as illustrated and asdisclosed above, although such wings could be provided in many differentways. For example, each wing could be supplanted by a flexible sheet ofmaterial so that no hinges would be required. However, such materialmight warp over time so the preferred wings are formed by said pluralityof interconnected rigid panels.

Reciprocal motion of flat panel 144 is effectuated by hydraulic linearactuator 154. Said arm 154 has a first stationary end 156 mounted to topwall 68 and a second end mounted to block 158 that is secured to flatpanel 144. Flat panel 144 is slideably mounted for longitudinalreciprocation as hydraulic arm 154 is extended and retracted asindicated by double-headed directional arrow 160. Flat panel 144 isconnected at its leading and trailing edges to horizontal panel 48 byvertical front panel 39 and vertical back panel 49. Flat panel 144slides on bearings, not depicted, mounted in linear track 145 depictedin 17B).

FIG. 18A depicts flat panel 144, flexible panels 150, and cabinet 10 inbottom perspective and FIG. 18B provides a top perspective view thereof.

As best depicted in FIGS. 19A-G, LED switch disc 128 is mounted inunderlying relation to flat panel 48 in vertically spaced relation tocolor disc 118 having translucent discs 120 a mounted about itsperiphery.
